it's #agdq2026, and hearing the @preventcancer.org spokesperson mention "obesity" as part of cancer prevention really bummed me out

I don't even want to talk about the claim that fatness is a risk factor for cancer

let's instead talk about weight loss

The cover of Aubrey Gordon’s book, which is white and black text on a red background, “What We Don’t Talk Anchor When We Talk About Fat” Over the top of that, in white letters on a black background, is a banner which reads, “Shared Stories Society; a yoga-therapy informed book club! Join me January 16th!”

While this is listed as being for adults 60+, if you’re an adult younger than 60 and want to participate, please sign up anyway!

A doctor slams 'fat bias,' saying a patient 'could have lost his life' because other doctors chalked up his rash and pain to obesity A man with joint pain, fatigue, and rashes saw doctors who chalked up his symptoms to morbid obesity. Dr. Mike later diagnosed him with Lyme disease.

"One study of more than 4,700 medical students across the country found that 74% exhibited implicit weight bias — meaning they weren't aware of their negative attitudes toward bigger-bodied people — and 67% had explicit weight bias..."

Besides being a reluctant #romance #writer (see my substack post on what that means), I'm a psychotherapist who works with people who struggle with #eatingdisorders, #bodydysmorphia, #disorderedeating, and internalized #antifatbias This video is very timely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVjF...

If diets, or behaviors and programs in disguise but still diets, actually worked we wouldn’t have a diet industry making upwards of hundred of billions annually, yet we’re not getting skinnier. It’s a scam, folks. #fat #antifatbias #dietculture #fatacceptabce
